Ration -measures'' would be a signal to the world that the American people had departed from the principles of freedom and, equality," a representative of nine national Jewish religious and civic organizations told a House Judiciary sub¬ committee considering various anti-busing amend¬ ments, this week. "The-an¬ swer, is to end segregation and improve the schools: Plainly, this has nothing to do with busing," testified Albert. E. Arent, a Washington tax lawyer who is chairman of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NCRAC).
Arent. asserted/ that President Nixon's proposed "moratorium" on school busing, coupled with federal upgrading of. poor schools, "would be tragic, and probably illegal," since "Our. whole system of law would be undermined if courts were compelled to tell persons applying for redress: 'Yes, your con* stitutional rights have been ' invaded.. But we are barred from giving you effective relief.'"
NCRAC is convinced "that every, group in our multi¬ cultural society — religious, racial and ethnic — is threatened when one is oppressed," Arent said, adding: "They are 'con¬ vinced that enactment of any amendment to our Con¬ stitution curbing the power of the courts to deal with racial segregation would be a betrayal of the principles which this country stands for in the eyes of oppressed peoples throughout the world."

NEW YORK (WNS) — - fo) Israeli "Deputy Premier-#&< Yigal Allon," prior to «TfJ departing for Israel at the annua end of his three-week visit to the U.S., told newsmen the 21-month duration of the Suez Canal cease-fire was "impressive proof" that Israel's policy was the correct one. He also said that "a prolonged cease-fire may lead to some diplomatic .movement more than a state of active belligerency" because "first, people get used to the pleasure' of a cease-fire. Second, a prolonged cease-fire has its own dynamics for de- escalation-" "

Record Breaking Gallery Ticket Sale Causes Additional "Fiddler" Performances
Because ;of 'an- un-:; precedented record-" breaking advance ticket sale,: the Gallery Players presentation of "Fiddler on the Roof" will play an ad¬ ditional weekend-at The Jewish Center, 1125 College Avenue, with performances on Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and 28, at 8:30 p.m.
This announcement comes from Harold M. Eisenstein, Gallery Players managing director, who is also staging the. production. Says Eisenstein, "There are a few seats available for the Saturday and Sunday, May
20 and 21,'performances but the heavy demand for tickets .has forced us into extra, performances."
"The group of humble dwellers," continues Eisenstein, "in Anatevka, Sholem Aleichem's fictional little village in Russia in the days of the Cars have become modern figures of world renown — comparable to many other immortal literary creations."
According to Eisenstein, Sholem Aleichem wrote over 500 short stories, filling 24 volumes, which have been translated into numerous
languages. TWenty-three^f- the stories were, centered ^in a , bPie-poor, - dairyman named Tevye,, who "carried, on chummy conversations with God,--gently com¬ plaining about the afflictions the Almighty had put upon him — namely his poverty, the .constant lameness of his horse, the sharp.tongue of his wife, and ihe existence of seven daughters, three.of whom are of marriageable age and for whom he can provide' no dowries.
